Re: HTTPGETCLOB and Java

I agree, but IBM does not. That's why I had to create an RFE to "fix" what
you and I consider a bug.

Unfotunately the IBMi HTTP* services that use Java are incompatible with
your custom Java. IBM ignores the CLASSPATH when starting the JVM, so if
they start the JVM then your Java will fail. If your code starts the JVM,
then IBM's Java will fail.

I would call this a software defect!

BTW: I wouldn't use this malware anyway, it's starting a JVM in each job,
you are using it, eating up your ressources: good for IBM, expensive for
you. For java integration to RPG, I wouldn't use the JNI support of the
RPG
compiler. Running your Java asynchronous in a dedicated JVM is much
faster,
more stable and scales much better. Using open source AppServer4RPG it's
rather easy to implement.
